CRISPRave is a small data algorave performance where all musical material is learned live on stage from genome sequences of a cat and a dog, juxtaposing the two to create unorthodox grooves.
Rather than using the Markov chain learning algorithm to supplement a performance, it's the center of attention. All models are learned live on stage. Editing the gene sequence is explored as a gesture to control the complexity of the resulting sound (hence the name). Both model parameters and input data are modified to control density and intensity of the performance.
No animals are harmed during the performance (and I hope neither during genome sequencing). Don't apply this technique to actual lifeforms ... | About the artist: |
| Niklas Reppel (* 1983 in Witten, Germany) is (in no particular order) a programmer, live coder, sound artist, composer, musician, and committed eclecticist. He has been based in Barcelona since 2017, where he found a home in the local TOPLAP node. He has performed as a live coder nationally and internationally, and has been a regular contributor to the International Conference on Live Coding since its inception in 2015. |
